@caitlinrgreen what do u say about events in 1066 when after Vikings Britain was invaded by Normans (shaved heads) were they victorious
@Umarkarim89 Well they certainly made changes, but important to recognize that pre-Norman England had v sophisticated government for time :)
@caitlinrgreen this aryan invasion in Indian subcontinent was sort of similar to Norman invasion as it displacd indigenous people into south
@Umarkarim89 Interesting, thnk you. In UK, good argument for population continuity w/ prehistory, whereas used to think of massive changes.
@caitlinrgreen these people can be found in South India as dravidians bt North India+Paki was occupied by Aryan hordes with locals as slaves
@Umarkarim89 History, tbh, is full of such sad tales. Look at those Islamic dirhams in Viking-age Europe---there because up to 1,000,000 >
@Umarkarim89 >slaves sold by Vikings to Central Asian merchants, & telling that the word for native Britons (Welsh) in Anglo-Saxon=slave...
@Umarkarim89 I find the past fascinating, but not convinced I would want to live in it! Although the present can be equally dispiriting :-/
